Narcos’ Pedro Pascal and Edgar Ramirez, who played Gianni Versace in Ryan Murphy’s recent American Crime Story franchise, have signed up to star in Oliver Assayas’ forthcoming Cuban spy drama Wasp Network.

The pair will star in the feature, which is based on the true story of Cuban spies in American territories during the 1990s and explores the reach of a terrorist network based in Florida that had ramifications across Central America.
